14 day rule on speeding tickets...

[Prof Prolapse]

Well I've been bad lad and busted for speeding in the works car. I have a quick question about the 14 day rule which I suspect I know the answer to...

The offence was on the 10 Apr, and I've received the letter now on the 28 Apr. The letter is dated the 25 Apr.

I'm assuming that the 14 day rule is for them to contact the registered keeper (which I can only assume they did) not the driver?

Thanks.

I am sure one of the PH legal bods will be along shortly to confirm but I believe you are correct, the 14 day rule only applies to the NoIP being served to the vehicles registered keeper.

They have 14 days to send out an NIP to the registered owner (which I assume is the company you work for?). Your company must have then identified you as a driver and then sent you a fresh NIP, for which there is no time limit (other than the 6 month rule) - (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Is the NIP dated 25/04/14 to you, or to your company? If its to your company then it sounds as if its one day late, and may possibly have a chance to wiggle out of it? Head over to PePiPoo forums if you haven't done so already, a lot of good information on there! You can post a new topic using an NIP wizard, and that will help others help you!

There's a strong likelihood of there being a lease company in there, too...

It's addressed to me, that's what I understood thanks.

I think I'll just pay it and take the points. Then work will bill me for their admin time in handling the ticket...

I'm sure there's a lesson here somewhere.

Cheers
